PERIOD COVERED:  0000Z (UTC) 12/27/95 - 0000Z (UTC) 12/28/95

Daily Status Report as of 362/0000Z

1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 Completed Two Sets FOS/RD 6339 (Verification of the UV Spectrum of =
the HST Background Light )

       The Faint Object Spectrograph (Red Side) was used to make =
ultraviolet observations of the HST background light.  These FOS =
observations were taken parallel to Hubble Deep Field (HDF) survey.  Both =
the HDF and these FOS data will be used to test and improve the existing =
engineering model of the HST background light.  The observations were =
completed as planned, and no anomalies were reported.
